Seattle 2017

We have fond memories of Rose Marie and Jim’s visit with us in Seattle in 2017. Rose’s warmth, kindness, and relaxed sense of fun made our time with them a joyful memory. We also enjoyed seeing the closeness that Rose and Jim enjoyed, and the strength of their relationship.
Our hearts are with Jim and his family and with everyone who knew and lost the part of their lives they shared with Rose. To you we send our love.
